Expert Reply:
While we do have a couple Replacement Cables and Pins # 3802350 & # SM99905 they are not always compatible with every Breakaway Switch # HM20010. I recommend replacing the switch with the Fastway Zip Trailer Breakaway Switch with Coiled Cable # FA80-00-2040. This uses a red coiled cable that is easy to see and notice if it is missing. Also since it is coiled it is less likely to drag on the ground like the straight cables and become damaged. To be able to move the trailer you will need to cut one end of the wires going to the switch to cut the power that is locking up the brakes.
